IGF2 (Insulin-like growth factor 2)

Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is a naturally occurring protein in the body that plays a key role in growth and development, especially before birth. It helps promote the growth of cells, tissues, and organs by stimulating cell division and size increase. IGF2 is produced mainly in the fetus and certain adult tissues, working closely with other growth factors and hormones. Its regulation is crucial; too much or too little can affect normal development and may be linked to conditions like growth disorders or certain cancers.
